Artist lady who likes Sonic and other stuff. I will make a videogame one day I promise. Currently trying to stop my government from banning the entire internet unless you have an ID.

🚨NET NEUTRALITY RED ALERT- The federal government has inserted a provision into a funding deal with the state of California that would make the state abandon its gold standard net neutrality law, broadband affordability regulations, and public safety protections. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

This is one of the big ways "both sides are 'actually' the same" at least as far as establishment democrats go. Look at how much surveillance has been pushed by democrats in office. ID verification is 100% about surveillance, its not remotely for "protecting the children."

Its terrible and I hate it, bleh. Id verification is awful. I left a warning on my thing too, but twitter now has me shadow banned argh </3 Hoping it goes away.

Regular reminder to watch your credit reports and preferably lock them, it's free! IDScan wasn't hacked. They took a business decision to keep your drivers license, which these days includes biometric detail uncrypted. It was accessed and 150-millions US and Canadian drivers licenses are out there

Even if you - for some reason - trusted the site/service that you’re using with your ID info, all the verification is outsourced and (surprise!) still incredibly vulnerable to being stolen Age verification isn’t too hard for teens to game the system and just puts everyone’s info at risk

Discord wants your kid's identity data and face. And remember, Discord lied about deleting the data the last time they did age verification with 70,000(at minimum according to Discord themselves) people having their identities compromised. Do YOU trust these people with your kid's face and ID?

Despite major outrage from users when they initially rolled out age verification systems, Discord plans to make all accounts teen by default GLOBALLY & you have to scan your face or upload an ID to prove you aren't one. www.gadgetreview.com/discord-is-b...

techcrunch.com/2026/09/10/i... and this is why I am so against mandatory ID. The first data breach my daughter was involved in was due to her having to provide ID for discord. If it becomes common place that you have to provide ID for all online services it's all going to leak!

I'd argue the addition of a credit-card verification is a much better option, if it's what I expect, because a credit card number can be revoked at any time if compromised. Nonetheless the paradigm remains unacceptable development overall that fails to protect youth and imposes on everyone's privacy
